That means that Sam Darnold will 21 00:01:17,828 --> 00:01:20,828 Speaker 3: be the Viking starter, which was a little bit expected 22 00:01:20,828 --> 00:01:22,748 Speaker 3: at least to start the season, but the fact that 23 00:01:22,788 --> 00:01:25,508 Speaker 3: you know that McCarthy is now down for the entire season, 24 00:01:26,108 --> 00:01:29,068 Speaker 3: makes you think differently about this team. McCarthy posted this 25 00:01:29,108 --> 00:01:34,108 Speaker 3: on Instagram, Marcus Aurelius quote, A blazing fire makes flame 26 00:01:34,188 --> 00:01:36,908 Speaker 3: and brightness out of everything that is thrown into it. 27 00:01:37,028 --> 00:01:41,028 Speaker 3: He posted a bunch of pictures that goes along with this. 28 00:01:41,148 --> 00:01:42,868 Speaker 3: I already know Kyle wants to have takes on a 29 00:01:42,908 --> 00:01:45,068 Speaker 3: Marcus Aurelius quote, but we have to move on to 30 00:01:45,108 --> 00:01:49,588 Speaker 3: throw it down Thursday. Meanwhile, the Dealers wrapped up camp 31 00:01:49,668 --> 00:01:53,308 Speaker 3: yesterday in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Russell Wilson has been dealing with 32 00:01:53,348 --> 00:01:57,148 Speaker 3: a calf injury, but he's putting out nothing but positive 33 00:01:57,228 --> 00:01:58,828 Speaker 3: vibes after practice. 34 00:02:01,428 --> 00:02:01,588 Speaker 5: Yeah. 35 00:02:01,628 --> 00:02:04,828 Speaker 2: I mean, I've been working every single day. Even in 36 00:02:04,868 --> 00:02:06,428 Speaker 2: the days I was a little bit lighter in. 37 00:02:06,428 --> 00:02:07,948 Speaker 5: Team, I was just getting all the fundamental work. 38 00:02:07,988 --> 00:02:09,988 Speaker 6: And then obviously over the past two weeks really been 39 00:02:09,988 --> 00:02:11,628 Speaker 6: building up a lot more reps than the team drills 40 00:02:11,668 --> 00:02:12,188 Speaker 6: and everything else. 41 00:02:12,188 --> 00:02:14,748 Speaker 7: That's been great, been full for the past seen in 42 00:02:14,748 --> 00:02:16,308 Speaker 7: trouble of several days and everything else. 43 00:02:16,348 --> 00:02:20,028 Speaker 2: So go really get them how to schedule Okay, throw 44 00:02:20,068 --> 00:02:20,668 Speaker 2: it on Thursday. 45 00:02:21,028 --> 00:02:24,148 Speaker 3: Between those two topics, Russell Wilson on his third team 46 00:02:24,228 --> 00:02:27,108 Speaker 3: looking for a redemption season after how things went down 47 00:02:27,108 --> 00:02:30,548 Speaker 3: in Denver. Sam Darnold now on his fourth team, replacing 48 00:02:30,668 --> 00:02:33,108 Speaker 3: or taking on the job that JJ McCarthy was fading for. 49 00:02:33,548 --> 00:02:37,868 Speaker 3: Who is in a better situation to resurrect their career? 50 00:02:38,188 --> 00:02:41,148 Speaker 8: Bar you Gobirst, I'm gonna go Russell Wilson. I mean, 51 00:02:41,188 --> 00:02:43,228 Speaker 8: but I think the narrative is kind of all messed 52 00:02:43,308 --> 00:02:45,748 Speaker 8: up around, you know, Russell Wilson. I think a lot 53 00:02:45,748 --> 00:02:47,548 Speaker 8: of people look at Russell Wilson gone, oh, it was 54 00:02:47,588 --> 00:02:49,308 Speaker 8: such a bad year, like look at the numbers that 55 00:02:49,308 --> 00:02:49,748 Speaker 8: he put up. 56 00:02:49,748 --> 00:02:51,308 Speaker 5: They weren't bad like that, you know what I. 57 00:02:51,348 --> 00:02:53,268 Speaker 8: Mean, And especially when you look at the back half 58 00:02:53,308 --> 00:02:56,388 Speaker 8: of the season where they went six and one. But 59 00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:59,508 Speaker 8: this whole thing got out about Russell Wilson and people 60 00:02:59,508 --> 00:03:02,668 Speaker 8: are starting to identify him being an older veteran as 61 00:03:02,748 --> 00:03:05,788 Speaker 8: being washed up. You can still produce. But I think 62 00:03:05,828 --> 00:03:08,348 Speaker 8: now that he's in a better situation, a better environment, 63 00:03:08,588 --> 00:03:10,868 Speaker 8: I think the marriage between him and Sean Payton just 64 00:03:10,988 --> 00:03:11,708 Speaker 8: wasn't a good one. 65 00:03:11,828 --> 00:03:12,948 Speaker 5: I'm look, I'm. 66 00:03:12,788 --> 00:03:15,028 Speaker 8: At an age now where I know people who've gone 67 00:03:15,068 --> 00:03:17,348 Speaker 8: through a couple of marriages already. You know what I mean, 68 00:03:17,428 --> 00:03:19,428 Speaker 8: and you know they're on the second and third one, 69 00:03:19,428 --> 00:03:21,988 Speaker 8: and somehow the second and third one hit, you know 70 00:03:21,988 --> 00:03:24,868 Speaker 8: what I mean. And so I think this marriage right here, 71 00:03:24,948 --> 00:03:27,308 Speaker 8: this third one is going to hit. His first one 72 00:03:27,428 --> 00:03:30,388 Speaker 8: was successful, but then it broke down. Second one. I mean, 73 00:03:30,468 --> 00:03:32,788 Speaker 8: it was contentious from the beginning. I mean, it all 74 00:03:32,828 --> 00:03:35,068 Speaker 8: started with the office, you know what I mean. And 75 00:03:35,148 --> 00:03:38,028 Speaker 8: now he's got a new place to set up shop. 76 00:03:38,108 --> 00:03:41,108 Speaker 8: And I love what he has surrounding him from Pickens 77 00:03:41,508 --> 00:03:44,628 Speaker 8: maybe and now Yuk. You know, Najie Harris, He's in 78 00:03:44,668 --> 00:03:46,428 Speaker 8: a good situation to really produce. 79 00:03:49,508 --> 00:03:51,508 Speaker 9: I love what Akbar saying, and I'm rooting for Russell 80 00:03:51,548 --> 00:03:53,708 Speaker 9: Wilson to do that. I don't think the stain of 81 00:03:53,748 --> 00:03:56,748 Speaker 9: that Denver experience should be what we remember him for. 82 00:03:56,748 --> 00:03:59,388 Speaker 9: We should remember him for his flourishing career in Seattle. 83 00:03:59,428 --> 00:04:02,148 Speaker 9: Then hopefully he can turn it around in Pittsburgh. But 84 00:04:02,388 --> 00:04:05,428 Speaker 9: you're talking about situation. Has anyone been dropped in a 85 00:04:05,468 --> 00:04:08,788 Speaker 9: more advantageous situation than Sam Donald? You're talking about a 86 00:04:09,028 --> 00:04:11,348 Speaker 9: offensive head coach and Kevin O'Connell, who's due as one 87 00:04:11,388 --> 00:04:12,988 Speaker 9: of the best offensive minds in football. 88 00:04:13,028 --> 00:04:13,748 Speaker 5: You're talking about a. 89 00:04:13,668 --> 00:04:18,828 Speaker 9: Former longtime journeyman just like Donald's been, and Josh McCown 90 00:04:18,908 --> 00:04:23,068 Speaker 9: as his quarterbacks coach, two elite first round wide receivers 91 00:04:23,068 --> 00:04:26,148 Speaker 9: in Addison and Jefferson, and then a good running back 92 00:04:26,188 --> 00:04:28,948 Speaker 9: and a great offensive line. I'll also go further with this, 93 00:04:29,108 --> 00:04:31,548 Speaker 9: like it's almost to the t of a guy that 94 00:04:31,548 --> 00:04:34,668 Speaker 9: he got drafted with. This is like Baker Mayfield season 95 00:04:34,788 --> 00:04:37,468 Speaker 9: last year in Tampa where Baker signed that one year 96 00:04:37,508 --> 00:04:40,188 Speaker 9: deal with Tampa and was like, all right, I've. 97 00:04:40,068 --> 00:04:42,108 Speaker 4: Got one shot here. I'm the guy. I'm gonna beat 98 00:04:42,108 --> 00:04:42,908 Speaker 4: out Kyle Trask. 99 00:04:42,988 --> 00:04:45,028 Speaker 8: He's not gonna beat me for this job, and then 100 00:04:45,068 --> 00:04:45,628 Speaker 8: I could do what. 101 00:04:45,588 --> 00:04:48,868 Speaker 9: I want with this thing. Baker signed a massive contract 102 00:04:48,908 --> 00:04:51,308 Speaker 9: extension this year. Now, look, would the Vikings sign a 103 00:04:51,348 --> 00:04:54,388 Speaker 9: massive contract accention with Donald knowing that JJ McCarthy's coming 104 00:04:54,428 --> 00:04:54,788 Speaker 9: next year. 105 00:04:54,868 --> 00:04:57,468 Speaker 4: No, it's not gonna happen. But with another team. 106 00:04:57,948 --> 00:05:00,268 Speaker 9: If Sam Donald goes eleven and six this year, if 107 00:05:00,268 --> 00:05:03,348 Speaker 9: Sam Donald goes here, goes goes nine to eight and 108 00:05:03,428 --> 00:05:05,068 Speaker 9: takes the Vikings to a player again, and there's like 109 00:05:05,108 --> 00:05:07,028 Speaker 9: a top twenty quarterback as he started next year in 110 00:05:07,028 --> 00:05:09,028 Speaker 9: the league, he very well might be. I think as 111 00:05:09,108 --> 00:05:15,628 Speaker 9: far as situations go, great organization, great offense, great offensive coaches. 112 00:05:16,028 --> 00:05:17,828 Speaker 5: I'm gonna say it's Sam Donald and. 113 00:05:17,788 --> 00:05:19,828 Speaker 9: He's still in his mid twenties where he can time 114 00:05:19,988 --> 00:05:22,228 Speaker 9: can have that Baker Mayfield season last year where he 115 00:05:22,228 --> 00:05:23,628 Speaker 9: get hit the jackpot again next season. 116 00:05:23,708 --> 00:05:25,548 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you on this situation for sure. 117 00:05:25,628 --> 00:05:27,668 Speaker 1: I mean it's not the least of which is that 118 00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:29,828 Speaker 1: Sam Donald knows one hundred percent he's gonna be starting 119 00:05:29,828 --> 00:05:30,188 Speaker 1: Week one. 120 00:05:30,228 --> 00:05:32,228 Speaker 4: I don't know if Russell Wilson even knows that yet. 121 00:05:32,268 --> 00:05:34,788 Speaker 1: But I think in terms of the broader picture and 122 00:05:34,828 --> 00:05:36,908 Speaker 1: what you're talking about is that Russell Wilson has this 123 00:05:37,028 --> 00:05:39,628 Speaker 1: much different legacy that I think it would be a 124 00:05:39,628 --> 00:05:42,588 Speaker 1: football shame if this thing didn't work out after the 125 00:05:42,588 --> 00:05:46,148 Speaker 1: Denver thing. He needs this massive, massive comeback, and he's 126 00:05:46,188 --> 00:05:48,628 Speaker 1: now at a team in a franchise that really doesn't lose, 127 00:05:48,868 --> 00:05:51,588 Speaker 1: like they're always relevant, they're always good. He's not gonna 128 00:05:51,588 --> 00:05:53,748 Speaker 1: have his head coach change. And you're saying, what if 129 00:05:53,788 --> 00:05:56,548 Speaker 1: Donald does this this? What if Russell Wilson finds it 130 00:05:56,588 --> 00:05:59,028 Speaker 1: again and he starts this year and he takes into 131 00:05:59,068 --> 00:05:59,668 Speaker 1: the playoffs. 132 00:06:00,268 --> 00:06:01,068 Speaker 4: What if the what if? 133 00:06:01,268 --> 00:06:03,668 Speaker 1: What if he becomes a long term quarterback for Pittsburgh 134 00:06:03,748 --> 00:06:06,588 Speaker 1: and like that's his second half. It's you know, I'm 135 00:06:06,588 --> 00:06:09,188 Speaker 1: trying to find something reminiscent, and it's like, I'm thinking 136 00:06:09,228 --> 00:06:11,788 Speaker 1: of John Travolta. Go for it. John Trabosa was the 137 00:06:11,788 --> 00:06:14,308 Speaker 1: biggest movie star in the world in the seventies and 138 00:06:14,388 --> 00:06:17,748 Speaker 1: the eighties and and it just completely fell apart. And 139 00:06:17,788 --> 00:06:20,548 Speaker 1: he's doing, look who's talking movie is while successful, that 140 00:06:20,588 --> 00:06:23,308 Speaker 1: we're not cool and really embarrassing for him. 141 00:06:23,628 --> 00:06:24,948 Speaker 4: That's kind of the Denver era. 142 00:06:25,028 --> 00:06:29,268 Speaker 1: And then out of nowhere, this brilliant writer and directors like, 143 00:06:29,388 --> 00:06:31,188 Speaker 1: I want John Travolta in this movie, and everyone to 144 00:06:31,228 --> 00:06:31,868 Speaker 1: the studios are like. 145 00:06:31,868 --> 00:06:33,828 Speaker 4: No, we're gonna have John Travolta. I don't care. 146 00:06:33,948 --> 00:06:36,108 Speaker 1: I will fight for him. And that's what the Steelers 147 00:06:36,148 --> 00:06:39,068 Speaker 1: did with Russell Wilson. Sure enough, then pulp fiction comes out, 148 00:06:39,068 --> 00:06:41,628 Speaker 1: Trabolsa has another twenty year run before he self sabotages. 149 00:06:41,668 --> 00:06:44,188 Speaker 4: That's fine, but is Tomlin his Tarantino? 150 00:06:44,308 --> 00:06:46,828 Speaker 1: Like, is this the guy who can say everyone else 151 00:06:46,868 --> 00:06:49,908 Speaker 1: couldn't do it, but I can. No more talking baby movies. 152 00:06:49,908 --> 00:06:51,988 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you in a do grown up movies, 153 00:06:52,028 --> 00:06:55,188 Speaker 1: grown up football. That would be this type of comeback. 154 00:06:55,668 --> 00:06:57,668 Speaker 1: I still don't know if he's starting Week one. He's 155 00:06:57,708 --> 00:07:00,028 Speaker 1: injured and he's got justin fields. But if he does, 156 00:07:00,068 --> 00:07:00,388 Speaker 1: it's a. 157 00:07:00,348 --> 00:07:02,988 Speaker 4: Better story and it's a broader story for football. So 158 00:07:02,988 --> 00:07:03,748 Speaker 4: I think it's Russell. 159 00:07:04,468 --> 00:07:06,668 Speaker 3: Did people start having a problem with Look who's talking? 160 00:07:07,028 --> 00:07:08,508 Speaker 3: Is that you don't we don't. 161 00:07:08,348 --> 00:07:08,948 Speaker 5: Like those movies? 162 00:07:09,028 --> 00:07:10,988 Speaker 3: Is that bad? 163 00:07:11,308 --> 00:07:13,988 Speaker 1: No, it's just the fact that John Travolta was running 164 00:07:13,988 --> 00:07:16,628 Speaker 1: the game like he was the coolest guy in Hollywood 165 00:07:16,668 --> 00:07:18,948 Speaker 1: and now he's going down to the point where we're 166 00:07:18,988 --> 00:07:22,268 Speaker 1: doing sight gags with Kirsty Alley and talking baby movies. 167 00:07:22,308 --> 00:07:23,948 Speaker 1: I mean it was kind of pathetic, and he did 168 00:07:24,028 --> 00:07:24,828 Speaker 1: I think three of them. 169 00:07:24,908 --> 00:07:25,628 Speaker 4: Yes, he does. 170 00:07:27,108 --> 00:07:28,348 Speaker 5: Have a voice in that movie. 171 00:07:28,468 --> 00:07:30,308 Speaker 4: Bus Willis Willis Willis was. 172 00:07:32,188 --> 00:07:36,868 Speaker 3: Next throwdown Aaron Rodgers mandatory Mini Camp to go on 173 00:07:36,908 --> 00:07:39,228 Speaker 3: a trip to Egypt.

You know, from the NFC North 666 00:28:03,548 --> 00:28:04,308 Speaker 5: to the NFC South. 667 00:28:04,708 --> 00:28:07,068 Speaker 8: You know, Sherry just mentioned, of course, the big news 668 00:28:07,108 --> 00:28:10,708 Speaker 8: that broke last night with the Patriots trading Matthew Judan 669 00:28:10,828 --> 00:28:13,908 Speaker 8: to Atlanta. I mean, what was your reaction to this 670 00:28:14,388 --> 00:28:18,308 Speaker 8: when you heard about this news, because I know I 671 00:28:18,388 --> 00:28:20,868 Speaker 8: almost flipped when I saw I'm going, oh boy, they're 672 00:28:20,908 --> 00:28:21,508 Speaker 8: making a move. 673 00:28:22,628 --> 00:28:25,908 Speaker 11: So part of what was really cool was being here 674 00:28:26,188 --> 00:28:28,588 Speaker 11: with the Bears and Ryan Poles is they were involved 675 00:28:28,628 --> 00:28:31,348 Speaker 11: in this trade possibility. They were one of the teams that. 676 00:28:31,388 --> 00:28:32,908 Speaker 4: Were talking to the Patriots. 677 00:28:33,148 --> 00:28:37,548 Speaker 11: They were talking to the agent for Matthew Judan, So 678 00:28:37,708 --> 00:28:39,548 Speaker 11: I wasn't surprised, and I was watching this whole thing 679 00:28:39,628 --> 00:28:42,508 Speaker 11: unfold and this is the cool part behind the scenes. 680 00:28:42,828 --> 00:28:45,508 Speaker 11: When you're trading someone, you have to talk to multiple people, 681 00:28:45,948 --> 00:28:47,708 Speaker 11: and part of what has to be done during that 682 00:28:47,908 --> 00:28:51,628 Speaker 11: process is the team needs to give you permission to 683 00:28:51,908 --> 00:28:54,428 Speaker 11: talk to the agent to see what the contract is 684 00:28:54,508 --> 00:28:56,708 Speaker 11: going to be like, which kind of makes the Hassan 685 00:28:56,748 --> 00:28:58,668 Speaker 11: Reddick thing look a little bit weird to me. As 686 00:28:58,708 --> 00:29:00,748 Speaker 11: I watched this, is like, didn't they know what the 687 00:29:00,828 --> 00:29:02,628 Speaker 11: deal was going to be? Didn't they know what the 688 00:29:02,828 --> 00:29:04,308 Speaker 11: you know, the contract was going to need to be. 689 00:29:04,788 --> 00:29:06,508 Speaker 11: This is what was going on yesterday. So I had 690 00:29:06,548 --> 00:29:10,308 Speaker 11: a front row seat listening to Polls and their folks 691 00:29:10,348 --> 00:29:12,748 Speaker 11: here talking with it. And when it happened, you know, 692 00:29:12,828 --> 00:29:14,708 Speaker 11: I thought it was a really good chance. But what 693 00:29:14,828 --> 00:29:17,388 Speaker 11: it came down to was the money and what the 694 00:29:17,548 --> 00:29:19,428 Speaker 11: what was going to be done with the contract, and 695 00:29:19,628 --> 00:29:22,308 Speaker 11: he went to Atlanta based on the money and that 696 00:29:22,468 --> 00:29:24,308 Speaker 11: situation and what the contract. 697 00:29:23,988 --> 00:29:26,788 Speaker 3: Was going to be tweaked as oh man, Well, it 698 00:29:26,868 --> 00:29:30,668 Speaker 3: does put a different look at other players that are 699 00:29:30,868 --> 00:29:34,028 Speaker 3: in the same precarious situation with their teams, which we 700 00:29:34,068 --> 00:29:35,868 Speaker 3: will talk with Scott.
